The heavy metal wine label category's newest entrant took off like "a rocket" last month, according to Fallbrook Winery winemaker Vernon Kindred, who made MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine's new Mustaine Vineyards Cabernet.

Mustaine and his wife, Pam Casselberry, bought a house near Fallbrook in San Diego County, and a few months ago took a stroll up the winery's driveway to introduce themselves. What started out as a casual conversation quickly turned into a very real wine project, and Mustaine Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon California Symphony Interrupted Select 2012, priced at $40 a bottle, sold out all 59 cases made in less than 72 hours.

"Both Dave and Pam were totally involved in picking the blend, and they chipped in and helped bottle it," Kindred told Unfiltered.

Dave Mustaine Vineyards' debut limited edition first release Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Symphony Interrupted, was made in limited quantities to commemorate Dave Mustaine's sold-out performance with the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall on April 12th, 2014.

In this truly unique concert event, master guitarist Dave Mustaine of the thrash-metal pioneers Megadeth brings his crunchy and energetic sensibility to the great works of classical music which have inspired him over the course of his Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum-selling career. When Dave Mustaine performs the virtuosic 'Summer' and 'Winter' movements from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, and Bach’s classic 'Air' on the G string, you will see a truly different side of metal. The San Diego Symphony will then wow you in the second half of the program with Antonín Dvorák's famous New World Symphony. Following the Dvorak will be Richard Wagner's 'Ride Of The Valkyries', and who knows… someone might just feel inclined to walk back on stage to rejoin the members of the San Diego Symphony in an encore performance where heavy-metallic sparks are sure to fly!

On speaking with Dave, he confirmed that he and conductor Ken-David Masur are considering adding a solo over 'Ride Of The Valkyries'.
